Depends on your media player, is it able to passthrough bitstream for TrueHD Atmos? If yes, that's the best quality available. (Or the other DTS:X...)

Looking at the price of Sonos Beam G2 at RM 2,999… you should go audition Samsung Q990B. Comes with subwoofer and rear speakers.

As much as i like woofer but it will look cluttering at my living area

If not mistaken it’s a wireless sub, can place else where in the room.

I feel the Q990B is really value for money among sound bars. The Sony just didn’t justify the extra money at all.

One nice thing about better soundbars is room calibration on the fly. And that allows speaker placement changes to be corrected in a simple manner. Compared with AVRs with the calibration microphone tedious process.

Nice plus point if frequently need to move the speakers around. Not exactly tedious… generally about 8 points data. The rest is software. Unless if you include the manual time align, level matching, crossover sweep etc after that then very different la 😂
